WHITE HOUSE LUNCHES.
The Lavish Hospitality Practiced Under
the jackson and Van Buren, Regimes.

Eu0 Lavish hospitality Rracttced Under
the jackson and Van Buren, Regimes.
Andrew Jackson entertained lavishly
on the night of his first Inauguration.
The carpets of the e,.st room were
ruined by the orange punch and lem.
onade which were served to the crowd
which came to his reception. Barrels
OF this punch were made, and it was
brought into the room in buckets. AT
last the people began to rush for the
walters as soon as they entered the
room. Glasses were broken and ladies'
dresses ruined. Tubs of punch were
finally taken into the garden, and in
this way the throng was drawn off and
it was possible to serve cake and wine
to the ladies.
At Jackson's farewell reception
monster cheese, as big as hogshead
in circumference and nearly yard
thick, was cut with saw-blades made
into knives and served out to the guests.
Each guest received three pounds of
cheese. The event was the talk of the
nation, and when Van Buren became
President his New York friends, emu
lative of jackson, sent him a big
cheese. 1t was cut up in the east
room. The greasy crumbs falling upon
the carpet were trampled into It, and
the ruination of the furniture during
these two administrations led the
later Presidents to discontinue the
practice of serving eatables at general
receptions. Now no guest comes to
dinner at the White House unless in
vited. In Van Buren's day, Bacourt.
in his Souvenirs d un Diplomat, says
that the Presidents cook told his valet
that for several months preceding the
election of 1840 many persons arrived
at the White House for breakfast or
dinner, and threatened to vote against
Van Buren if they were not enter
tanned. The cook stated that he had
all the trouble possible in satisfying
them, and they often returned what he
sent up, doing so on the pretext that
it was uneatable, and ordered some-
hing else.-Lippincotrs Magazine.
